Chapter 228: Decision, Contemplation (Text)
"Let Genjiuro and them close the team and erase a trace of qiē......"
I commanded
"Withdraw with all the gains and wait for the next opportunity to ......"
"Are you really willing to find such a place that meets the requirements in all aspects......"
The enigmatic creature shook a small lake embroidered fan of a cat fluttering butterflies and said to me
"After all, it will do more harm than good......"
I explained to her......
"While it seems to be very beneficial and convenient at the moment, it is a big problem in the long run
After thinking about it, I took the initiative to give up this seemingly quite good choice, for the simple reason that after all, compared to land, I did not have much advantage in the naval division, and it was mainly concentrated in the navy
However, my interests on the sea route are quite large, and the triangular route of Canton-Borneo-Yiju has become the largest source of income for me outside of the original construction industry, and it is also the common point that I use to unite and gather the interests of those business members who are not in the domain system.
This also brought about another outcome and fact that I did not expect.
With the increasing expansion of my activities on the sea route, the crackdown on the smuggler group represented by Feng 13 is not entirely limited to the initial personal grudge, but also has the intention of weakening and cutting off the hidden dangers that may exist, as well as the effect of killing chickens and monkeys in an exclusive way in a certain field of interest.
This kind of exclusive display of strength, the members of the Borneo clan, the internal and external relationships, are also unconsciously tied to a similar community of interests, and contribute in various ways. The old saying that robbing people of wealth is like killing their parents, is nothing more than that
But when it comes to the official level of the sailor, it's different.
Sometimes the small means in the system are more disgusting and difficult to fight back than those off-the-board moves, because there is a cover of the system, and it is easy to fall into the layout and trap of the other party if you are not careful, and you will stand on the opposite side of the entire system if you are not careful.
I worked hard out of my own pocket to pay for the arms and go thousands of miles to other states to fight for life and death, not to get into the system to get a convenient identity and other cover
Therefore, at least for the time being, I lack sufficient preparation and response ability, so I can only deal with it this way for the time being
"Once we put our all our heart into it, we are likely to make a wedding dress for others......"
I conclude with a conclusion
"The best result is that the rat thrower is being held back by someone at this point and is tired of coping."
"Under the small actions and means of the other party, we continue to consume all kinds of manpower and material resources to ensure that our previous investment will not be wasted......"
In this case, don't talk about development plans, even if the foundation accumulated before...... It is also necessary to consume it
"It's completely a piece of chicken ribs that have no meat to eat and discard, and it tastes like it......"
"But it wasted our precious time and opportunity......"
"If you can think like this, then I naturally support your decision......"
The enigmatic creature sighed slightly
"I will advance and retreat with you and bear the consequences,"
"It's just that I still feel a little bit regretful......"
She suddenly smiled,
"I've had a pirate treasure hunt......
"Don't worry, we will have great success in the future, how many people want to bury the treasure pit......"
I understand it.
"Just like that senior......"
As if some kind of compensation and coincidence followed, the day after I made my decision, I received news that the Northland ship had returned.
It's a pity that because of the lockdown order, I can't go to the exclusive pier with other people to meet you, but according to the description of Alu, who took a cruise ship on behalf of me to meet and supervise in the open sea, came back.
The large sea ships that were anchored on the edge of an island were twice as large as when they set off, and although the sails and sides were full of traces of some kind of repair that had been weathered by the wind and waves, the waterline that lowered the full load showed the results and gains of this trip to the north.
Then, I got a long list of goods in my hand, and it seems that this one starts very well.
There are eight categories of leather goods such as mink, deer, bear, fox, camel, etc., more than a dozen kinds of wool products such as felt blankets, and more than 20 colors of textiles such as peacock cloth and rabbits.
In addition, there are Dongzhu, jade, down, mercury and dansha, lead vanadium, stone fat, Luqing, white porcelain, white glue, deer antlers, carved bells, cow bristles, saddles and other native products, and rhubarb, musk, poria, bezoar, ginseng, ejiao, licorice and other special medicinal materials.
It is said that inside and outside the cabin, every gap was stuffed with as much cargo as possible, and even the ballast in the bottom compartment was replaced with heavy cargo from the Northland.
Because of the sensitivity of the cargo itself, they did not drive directly into the port area of Canton, but first anchored in the open sea, through many offshore boats, and most of the shipments were completed by ant moving.
Then, carrying the remaining less sensitive so-called extraling-specific products, they entered the port like most merchant ships and anchored and loaded and unloaded on several trestles specially rented by the Borneo Guild.
The sources of these properties are very diverse,
It is said that because Dengzhou Port and Dengzhou Town were destroyed together, the officials and soldiers reneged on their promises to plunder the city, and hunted and tortured the rich in all directions.
As a result, after the northbound fleet completed its mission, it just swept the goods in the small port of Liangshan with a certain mentality of not going empty, and obtained these northern goods that were quite popular even in the Southern Dynasties at a very low price, and also left a lot of expectations and intentions from the north.
According to these survivors, although they lost their property and foundation in Dengju, they still have some connections and resources in the three major domains of the East China Sea, Silla, Fuso, and Yiju, as well as the princes and vassals of the Andong Prefecture.
Therefore, these people somewhat regarded this unexpected appearance outside Liangshan as an opportunity and reason for the revival of the industry, especially after hearing that behind the ship group, in fact, there was some kind of official background, and even a small number of people openly asked for no money, so they gave the ship and the goods on credit first, just for a bold and adventurous person who promised.
Therefore, this ship group, in addition to the goods, was also given the high hopes of certain exiled merchant groups and Dajia from the Northland. When I heard this, I and the mysterious creatures were speechless for a long time, very unbelievable, and I felt that a drink and a peck had its own number of days, which was really a coincidence of luck.
What happened in the next few days proved that in fact this market was more hungry than I thought, because the important node and hub of private transportation between the north and the south, the collapse of Dengzhou Town, and the local market in Guangfu had not seen a new supply of northern goods for more than half a year. The corresponding bankrupt operators and merchants are unknown.
These miscellaneous goods, through the black market channels privately associated with the Borneo Association, I thought it would bring some shock and fluctuations, but it turned out that it was like being thrown into a deep bottomless pit, and after a long time, there was not even a response.
This reality also encouraged us to some extent, so the second wave of the boat group was naturally in the process of rapid preparation and brewing, but the candidates who participated had to be carefully selected and considered.
According to the Enigmatic Creature, the stakes are great, but the risks are also unpredictable, so it would rather lose some of the expected profits than ensure the purity and confidentiality of the team.
It is not necessary to be able to maintain and monopolize this channel forever, but before the news leaks out, earn enough profits, gain a firm foothold between the north and the south, and quickly create a fait accompli that is difficult to replace, only then can we have the corresponding confidence to face those pretenders and powerful families who have heard the news, and continue to occupy a certain dominance in the midst of compromise and trade-off.
According to her proposal, once the route is determined and consolidated, such as the Lan Musk Deer, which is composed of female backgrounds, and the business group with Ning Chen's background that Mrs. Chen has mastered, it is the first sequence of choices for potential wooing, and I am naturally as good as a stream.
In the days that followed, I continued to receive messages from all sides.
Although I stayed out of the matter in the form of a grounding for the time being, the political turmoil and disputes surrounding the pre-military hearings of the former Danxi Economic Command continued to brew in some way.
For example, a certain elder of the faction behind Mrs. Chen, at the court meeting, suddenly threw out a new Jianyi, demanding that Weiwei Temple be held accountable for the position of the corpse over the years, and the inspection of the arsenal in Jinai was not effective, and the weapons of the guide zhì flowed into the hands of the Qingyuan rebels.
Then there was a certain military imperial historian who suddenly demanded a thorough investigation of the battlefield fraud case in the Anyuan Prefecture army, and linked it to the favored pre-military hearing, and used the Taiwan-Cambodia system to intervene in the hearing process.
This one after the other, one bright and one dark, two proposals, well completed the tricks and temptations of the Ming plank road to secretly cross Chen Cang. As for the number of negotiations that have been secretly stirred up in the dark, and how many horizontal and vertical wrestling negotiations remain, it is no longer in the realm and level that I can know.
As an idle chess player who has temporarily fallen outside the chessboard, I am also happy to take this opportunity to pass through guò diwen and various rumors, and indirectly observe the famous big names of the ship model, in the gentle drizzle and courtesy of the imperial court, under the sword of the mouth, the sword and the swords, the swords and swords and dangerous waves.
And then waiting for the moment when I came on as a pawn was a very knowledgeable and mentalistic experience.
In the end, a sudden news from the front of the army made the controversial hearing date quickly determined, because Anyuan Prefecture was connected by sea and land, and urgent military information was sent one after another.
The local war, which had been calmed down, was led by the feudal lord Noshan, who had escaped from house arrest in the state capital, and the various units of the official army who were resting in the local area did not investigate for a while, and they suffered a great defeat.
Under this stimulus, several feudal families who had already surrendered and were taken punitive measures such as fines and sacrifices by the official army, and were waiting for the final disposal of the imperial court, also showed signs of instability and rebellion.
However, the temporary replacement of Gao Pet, who was parachuted from Guangfu to the new command in front of the army, was not in the center, but was besieged by an unknown number of rioters, hundreds of miles away, in the port city, and lost contact with the troops.
Therefore, in any case, the imperial court must come to a conclusion, so I was secretly told that I need to be prepared to testify at the hearing, and there is some possibility of returning to Anyuan Prefecture with my subordinates.
At this time, my old retainer, the nominal head of the Borneo Association, Cai Liao, finally returned from the outer continents, and brought back a piece of news that I don't know how to describe.
"The lord of the feudal domain is seriously ill and wants to see him for the last time? ,”
And my first reaction was, is this the final showdown?
In other words, this is their last trick, and it is also the uncontrollable disadvantage, and the anti-general army's conspiracy.
Ah Lu, who was sitting on my lap and reading me the newly popular poems in Guangfu, couldn't help but slip down with a sigh, obviously unable to mind.
